The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is best for astronomy enthusiasts who want an easier way to explore the night sky. The StarSense Explorer technology uses your smartphone to recognise star patterns and guide you towards visible celestial objects. The 125 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain optics gather plenty of light, revealing detail in the Moon, planets, nebulae and star clusters. And the alt-azimuth mount with slow-motion controls makes it easier to follow objects as they move across the sky.

  • Smartphone dock - holds your phone in place while using the app's guidance features
  • StarBright XLT optical coatings - increase light transmission for brighter views
  • Includes 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces
